What changes us, arranges us, soon estranges all we once held near, justifies our want and lapse, these boundaries called a man? What merges us, and furthers us, then diverges from what was once dear, binding what we are to what we fear? What chooses us, excuses us, then confuses what was once so clear, tearing up in daily life answers once so true and real? What traces us, embraces us, then replaces in one silent tear the ocean of a living soul... when love is locked away? There’s a door in my heart, a door without a key. What summons us, condenses us, and shatters self-defenses thus? What can bring us joy again if love is locked away? I thought I’d lived all that I could of life... and then you walked in. There’s a door in my heart and it’s opened to you. There’s a door to that greater part of me. There’s a door that was locked and hidden away. Only you take me through that threshold. Only you open up the world. There’s a door in my heart and it’s opened to you. There’s a door to that greater part of me. There’s a door that was locked and hidden away. Only you take me through that threshold. Only you open up the world. Open up that secret world. What dreams us, forms between us, what redeems us in this happy way? What makes us worth our lives again, if love is locked away? |
